DIY Envelope for Seed Saving – Follow up

I have received several private messages and emails concerning my blog yesterday about what kind of paper envelope to use to store harvested seed in. So as a follow up to that question, my short answer is I don't think that it really matters what kind of envelope you use. My long answer is that I make my paper ones myself. While there are many ways of making envelopes, this is how I do it:

What you will need: Paper, Scissors, Tape

Take a corner of a sheet of paper and fold it to the other side to form a triangle. (Fold 1)

 Cut off excess paper.

 Fold left corner of triangle into the center. (Fold 2)

Fold right corner of triangle into the center. (Fold 3) Tape down the inside edges from Fold 2 and Fold 3.

Separate (open) the paper of the third corner of the triangle and place seeds in between the paper. Close and fold over the corner to meet folds 1 &2, Tape close.

Flip envelope over and write the name of the content, any special planting instructions, and year of harvest.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions. Thanks for reading and visiting my blog. :-)
